This is another set of lyrics Rogue posted yesterday that I can't see copied into the new list . I am sure I know it but it's not coming . I've gone through American pie, whiter shade of pale and After the gold rush but it isn't any of those . What is it?

In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
70s

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/07/2021 18:42

I’m finding it impossible to follow which ones have been identified but I haven’t spotted this

Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
70s

Wild is the Wind - David Bowie (or Nina Simone)

Academic inspiration, you gave me none

The fighter that won

As I thought I'd explained, shiny (although maybe not very well) I posted a LOT on the last thread.

I was going through (approximately 8 pages!!!!) working out what had been guessed and what was still outstanding and it was nearly 12.30 am, so I had to stop as had work today.

I'll finish going through and put the rest up later, if that's ok
